This Phase I/II clinical study, titled "A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Diagnostic Performance of F18 FBPA PET/CT Imaging in Solid Tumors", aims to evaluate the safety and diagnostic performance of F18 FBPA PET/CT imaging in subjects with solid tumors. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and establish the optimal screening conditions (including dose, timing and image quality) of F18 FBPA PET/CT in patients with solid tumors.

F18 FBPA (4-Borono-2-\[18F\]fluoro-L-phenylalanine) is a radiolabeled phenylalanine analog used in positron emission tomography (PET) for tumor imaging. Its uptake is mainly facilitated by the L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), which is commonly overexpressed in malignant tumors. This selective transport mechanism allows F18 FBPA to accumulate preferentially in tumor tissues rather than in normal tissues. Once taken up by cells, the fluorine-18 isotope emits positrons, enabling accurate visualization of tracer distribution through PET imaging.

RECRUITINGTo evaluate the safety and establish the optimal screening conditions (including dose, timing and image quality) of F18 FBPA PET/CT in patients with solid tumors
Safety: To evaluate the safety profile of F18 FBPA, all cohorts will undergo safety monitoring for up to one week following the F18 FBPA PET/CT scan. Monitoring will include routine assessments of adverse events (AEs), physical examinations, and vital signs. Diagnostic efficacy: To assess the diagnostic efficacy of F18 FBPA PET/CT by quantifying tracer uptake (SUVmax, SUVmean and SUVpeak), aiming to determine the minimum effective dose and optimal imaging timepoint.
Time frame: 6 months
To evaluate the applicability of F18 FBPA PET/CT imaging for tumor detection across various solid tumor types.
To assess the added diagnostic value of F18 FBPA PET/CT for lesion detection and its correlation with clinical staging.
Time frame: 6 months
